David P Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) I hope it can be mapped this time, I'm getting tired of negative "haven't you done that job yet" comments from those around me. I'm not bothered if it's not 100%, I just want it to be sufficiently good enough to be able to leave it on, which would make it a lot easier to then dot the I's and cross the T's. Making, developing and building this conversion away from home, outside without shelter and alone without alternative transport is a logistical nightmare.

David P Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) No still at home, the car is loaded onto the trailer yet the driver is presently in a meeting with his accountant, then we go. Just buzzed round it with the angle grinder, after the tricks I've done with that thing making the conversion I declare myself 'dab-hand' with it. Haircut Sir?

David P Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 It's actually only half way there, there are a few odds and sods to attend to but it's staying on, which is the most important factor. There is a minor air leak to find and fix. I have located the fuel regulator take off before the charger and it should be after. The plug gaps are too wide and the spark is blown out @ 6k, which is before the auto box changes up @ WOT. The little wonk in the supercharger shaft makes the pulley think the 6 rib belt is a 3 rib belt and will only boost to 8 psi before slipping. The crank position sensor is iffy and needs changing. The ignition timing cut relays for gear changes are creating a feed-back which makes manualised gear change inoperable. The spring loaded tensioner may need a stronger spring, but I won't know until I have fitted a straight shaft. The charge cooler pump is not wired into the ECU. The water/meth system has not yet been drawn into the equation. The HHO is not yet online. And maybe a few other minor bits, but I don't really care, it's on to stay and now I can tinker with these bits and chase them out one at a time.
